Today kicks off World Breastfeeding Week. I feel so lucky to have exclusively breastfed Clarke for the six weeks of her life (photo from her first month of life). Breastfeeding is a journey, and very rarely (from what I know/hear) an uneventful one. Ours has looked different throughout these last six weeks, from tongue and lip ties to nipple shields, and milk savers for heavy let down, testing every position under the sun to frustrating (for everyone) latch work, and it’s still been a total dream to share this with my daughter and I’m so lucky to have abundant milk, and a supportive partner, and to be able to surround myself with a community who makes this all feel normal and ok. Thank you all! This week we introduce a bottle and I have so many mixed feelings about it... but I do have to return to work. #worldbreastfeedingweek #breastfeeding #breastfeedingisnotacrime #lalecheleague #birthfit #ebf

LLLi petition gains over 22,000 endorsers for IBFAN's statements
Latest news on sun setting see Policy Blog
We thank LLLi for this petition and the 22,000 endorsers for IBFAN’s statements on the Sunsetting of reporting on the Code and our Counter Call on the BMS Call to Action. We are pleased that since our meeting with WHO Assistant Director Dr Yamamoto, and senior staff we have been assured of WHO’s strong commitment to the Code and the protection of breastfeeding and its wish to work together with IBFAN for the protection of child health. Dr Yamamoto stated that if the unintended consequence of a broader governance issue is implied as a lack of WHO’s support for the Code, that needs to be corrected.
We hope that Member States will agree with our analysis and the evident concern of so many and call for the Code should be treated as an exception.

English translation:
Support IBFAN in opposition to decisions of WHO and UNICEF
We are facing the possibility of an event that seriously threatens the health of children in the world. Our responsibility to ensure compliance with the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes of the year 1981 and its subsequent resolutions, leads us to launch this petition, hoping that you will support us with your signature so that with force and determination it continues to protect, promote and supporting breastfeeding against any influence from the artificial milk formula industry that undermines the Code and results in preventable illness and death of infants and toddlers.
La Leche League International therefore expresses its support for the statement of the International Infant Feeding Action Network (IBFAN) in opposition to the Organization’s “Call to Action for Breast-milk Substitutes ′ ′ World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), which drastically deviates from the decisions made at the World Health Assembly for almost 40 years. This document gives formula producers 10 more years to continue to shamelessly and dangerously market their products, undermining women’s confidence in their body’s ability to feed their babies and misleading families as to the quality of their products. products; it only asks them to regulate themselves, which we know does not work since they put the interests of their shareholders above the health of newborns and newborns and the child population. Therefore, we ask for your support to stop this “Call to Action” of the formula industry and thus preserve the health and lives of our children around the world, even more so in this context of a pandemic in which inequity is accentuated. .
We hope that the time will come when the Code will not be necessary, because the infant feeding industry will have stopped all promotion of products that replace breastfeeding before it is safe or optimal for the child or mother, or that they lose breastfeeding. maternal completely. That moment has not come.
Likewise, we urge the WHO to reconsider decision EB146 (20) at the 75th World Health Assembly in 2022 and to reestablish the presentation of biennial reports on the progress in the implementation of the International Code worldwide beyond 2030, and continue to publish updates and clarifications in the form of biennial WHA resolutions. This periodic review of laws and regulations around the world helps protect all babies, regardless of how they feed, from harmful business practices. In contrast, the “twilight” of the International Code in 2022 will lead to man-made childhood deaths and infections and a long-term increase in non-communicable diseases.
LLLI shares the impatience many feel regarding the lack of progress towards the implementation of the International Code. We would welcome any real changes in the marketing strategies of the infant feeding industry that would remove the pressure to stop breastfeeding and save the lives of babies and mothers. Unfortunately, instead of offering real change, the Call to Action and decision EB146 (20) simply allow the formula industry to continue to behave in a way that violates the Code and achieves its purpose of increasing its sales with impunity

Soutenir l’IBFAN contre les décisions de l’OMS et de l’UNICEF
Nous sommes confrontés à la possibilité d’un événement qui menace gravement la santé des enfants dans le monde. Notre responsabilité d’assurer le respect du Code international de commercialisation des substituts du lait maternel de l’année 1981 et ses résolutions ultérieures, nous amène à lancer cette pétition, en espérant que vous nous soutiendrez avec votre signature afin qu’avec force et détermination on continue à protéger, promouvoir et soutenir l’allaitement contre toute influence de l’industrie des préparations à base de lait artificiel qui porte atteinte au Code et entraîne des maladies évitables et la mort des nourrissons et des tout-petits.
La Leche League International (LLLI) exprime donc son soutien à la déclaration de l’International Infant Feeding Action Network (IBFAN) en opposition à l ‘«Appel à l’action pour les substituts du lait maternel» signé par l’Organisation. Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) et le Fonds des Nations Unies pour l’Enfance (UNICEF), qui s’écarte radicalement des décisions prises à l’Assemblée mondiale de la Santé depuis près de 40 ans. Ce document donne aux producteurs de laits artificiels 10 ans de plus pour continuer à commercialiser sans vergogne et dangereusement leurs produits, sapant la confiance des femmes dans la capacité de leur corps à nourrir leurs bébés et induisant les familles en erreur quant à la qualité de leurs produits. Il leur demande seulement de s’autoréguler, ce qui, nous le savons, ne fonctionne pas car ils placent les intérêts de leurs actionnaires avant la santé des nouveau-nés et des jeunes enfants. Par conséquent, nous demandons votre soutien pour mettre fin à cet «Appel à l’action» de l’industrie des préparations et ainsi préserver la santé et la vie de nos enfants à travers le monde, en particulier dans ce contexte de pandémie où les inégalités sont accentuées.
Nous espérons que le moment viendra où le Code ne sera pas nécessaire, car l’industrie de l’alimentation infantile aura arrêté toute promotion de produits qui remplacent l’allaitement maternel avant qu’il ne soit sûr ou optimal pour l’enfant ou la mère, ou qu’ils perdent complètement l’allaitement maternel. Ce moment n’est pas arrivé.
De même, nous exhortons l’OMS à reconsidérer la décision EB146 (20) lors de la 75e Assemblée mondiale de la Santé en 2022 et à rétablir la présentation de rapports biennaux sur les progrès de la mise en oeuvre du Code international dans le monde, au-delà de 2030, et continuer à publier des mises à jour et des clarifications sous la forme de résolutions biennales de l’AMS. Cet examen périodique des lois et réglementations dans le monde aide à protéger tous les bébés, quelle que soit la façon dont ils sont nourris, des pratiques commerciales néfastes. En revanche, le «crépuscule» du Code international en 2022 entraînera des infections et des décès infantiles d’origine humaine et une augmentation à long terme des maladies non transmissibles.
LLLI partage l’impatience que beaucoup ressentent face au manque de progrès vers la mise en oeuvre du Code international. Nous serions heureux de tout changement réel dans les stratégies de marketing de l’industrie de l’alimentation infantile qui éliminerait la pression pour arrêter l’allaitement et sauverait la vie des bébés et des mères. Malheureusement, au lieu d’offrir de réels changements, l’Appel à l’action et la décision EB146 (20) permettent simplement à l’industrie des laits artificiels de continuer à se comporter d’une manière qui viole le Code et atteint son objectif d’augmenter ses ventes en toute impunité.
